Dionysis and Tonia Studios - (Accommodation in Kalamaki)

Sim F           

Hiya, Me and my boyfriend got back today from 2weeks staying in Tonia Studios. The location is really good, just off the main road. Short walk to the beach, a supermarket right nextdoor, mini golf 2 mins away and the main road 2 seconds walk away! (comes out opposite Drunk Corner).
The apts were nice and clean, they were basic but we only really used the kettle any way. From what I saw, the two studios are near enough the same, except the Dionisys are painted a nicer colour and have a picture on the wall! lol. (I'm a girl, shh!)

We were on the bottom floor and the rooms were really cool so we didnt really get hot at night which was good as we didn't need to hire a fan.
No complaints about the place its self, or the 3 brothers.. they were sound. The food is good and reasonably priced.
Only problem I'd say is the people who live above the shop nextdoor. They have
loud motorbikes and cars and insist on sitting on/in them shouting to eachother whilst revving their engines. So be warned if you are a light sleeper and staying in Tonia!
Overall the place is nice and clean and in a really good spot with great views of the mountains.
I've got loads of photos of the studios and pool/bar/views/everything which I will try and get up!
Hope this helps!

Blue Caves and Shipwreck Cruise - (Zante Excursions)

Sim F           

click to enlargeclick to enlargeWe went on the full day trip and i agree, it was too long. most people were asleep! didnt get back til about half 6 then had to sleep! would have been better to do the half day cruise as you still get to go to the shipwreck but you get to stay longer. Well worth it though, the water is just amazing and ya just float in it coz its so salty! The beach isnt sand though, its small pebbles and they hurt! (although think i was the only one complaining coz i'm a wimp hehe).

Olympic Holidays - (Tour Operators in Zante)

Sim F           

Me & my boyfriend booked with Olympic and flew with Aestreus (however you spell it) airlines. We were delayed an hour on the way but everything was fine and we even set off early on the way back. The plane was like a coach and had no entertainment but i wasnt complaining, it was fine. 

Only problem was selfish people infront putting their seats right back to have a sleep, which meant me and my boyfriend had no room whatsoever. I would never do that to anyone, they know we have no room to start with! Then they had the cheek to go mad at us for moving and accidently hitting the back of their chair! ERM excuse me but it wouldnt have happened if your seat wasnt in our laps!!!!!!!
 
Anyway, overall all was v good, especially for the price we paid! Can't complain!

Zakynthos Airport - (Places to Visit in Zante)

Sim F           

We had to wait outside for most of the time when we were going home! But i thought it was alright actually! Caught some last rays! Didn't see much of the airport, we checked in, were there for what seemed like 15mins and then got on the plane! (earlier than planned aswell!)

Food was ridiculously expensive though so take food n drinks with you! A small packet of hula hoops was 2.70 euros 

Parthenon Restaurant - (Restaurants in Kalamaki)

The food here is GORGEOUS and really good value. We had the specials, which overall worked out at 25euros for 2 starters, 2 main meals (big portions aswell) four drinks and we were given two complimentry drinks of this fruity punch stuff which was really nice! Yum yum!

I don't get why people keep going on about the safety deposit boxes.. why would they give you your money back? what would be in it for them? it says 15pound a week (or whatever it is) it doesn't say you get your money back! It is just a safe to deposit your valuables in ?!?!
